How to Pick Your First Tattoo | Tattoos

Plan ahead, most important. Once you get one you're probably gonna want another one. Very easy to get addicted you've heard people say it and they say it for a reason. Don't go too big, don't go too small. You don't wanna a little tiny small tattoo in the middle of your arm - that is prime real estate. There is a lot of stuff you're probably gonna want to put there later down the road. Even if you don't think you do now, once you start getting compliments on these tattoos and everyone starts loving it, you're going to change your mind. Pick something you're passionate about, it may seem like shooting stars, or Kanji symbols, it might be that thing now. But styles change fads change, down the road. Are you really passionate about those couple of shooting stars? Every artist wants to do original artwork. No one wants to do star after star after star, when we could do something that is more you. More custom to your personality. More your style. Stay unique, go with something you don't see everywhere. These are going to be the tattoos that stand the test of time.

This December for my birthday I'm getting a tribal wolf on my bicep with the word loyalty under it.

Then get a shuriken, maybe midiuem, depending on your body build, i'd say get a kanji word in the center of the shuriken hole, just a friendly thought.

I cannot stop laughing at the pulp fiction Ernie and Bert picture.

I've got something I've designed original but not sure if I'd look like a prat! need some advice.its a tattoo made up of art to make a word of my mother tounge which also ties into the design....

Im getting stars and mine will be unique bc of the reason. It's not just for a tattoo but its in remembrance.

I live one hour from this shop and want my tattoo from Chris. Too bad i dont have 500 bucks to spend.

[gwansoonlee]

Wow, i really enjoy doing Piercings as well as tatoos as they are so individual. Not all are the same no matter if two people get the same one. Body type does matter.

I've heard a few times that rib cage tattoos are one of the most painful you can have :/

[emaRizz]

[deannaraines]

am i the only one who saw bert and ernie in the background at 0:23

[InvaderAdrianna]

I went big on my first... and it is on my shoulder. c: But it was worth the pain.

[MagicalTrevyn]

Do artists ever get offended if you want an exact copy of something rather than letting them do the creating? I have a design I drew out myself and if I still love it by the time I'm old enough to get a tattoo then I want it done but I don't know how that would go down in a shop since I've done the drawing.
